EUCO #620 EPOXY

SYSTEM
ASTM C 881 COMPLIANT,
FAST SETTING, HIGH
MODULUS ADHESIVE
EUCO#620 EPOXY SYSTEM is a 100% reactive, 2 component material designed as a moisture insensitive adhesive and binder for numerous application needs. This low modulus material
is available in a low viscosity (LV) medium viscosity (MV) or GEL consistency. EUCO#620 provides faster cure time when bonding dry or damp
concrete at temperature of 1oC to 16oC

(1) A medium viscosity formulation may be more
suitable for applications when the temperature is
above 27oC. Gel time will be extremely short.
(2) The low viscosity formulation may be more
suitable for these applications, when the Temperature below 10oC.
FEATURES / BENEFITS
l Rapid strength gain at low ambient temperature.
l Excellent adhesive for bonding together concrete, steel, ceramic or wood materials.
l Moisture insensitive for bonding to dry or
damp surface.
l Bond fresh concrete topping to hardened
concrete slabs.
l Protects concrete substrates against
chemical attack including most acids.
l Forms a tough wear-resistant coating for
industrial floor slabs.
l May be extended with sand or aggregate
for thick applications and mortar repairs.
l High early strengths at normal ambient temperatures.

PACKAGING
EUCO#620 epoxies are two part system at a 2 to
1 mix ratio by volume, Part A to Part B. The units
are pre-proportioned and packaged in 1 gallon (3.8
liter) units.
EUCO#620 EPOXY SYSTEM is often used as an
anchoring material for dowel bars and anchor bolts.
Repair mortars can be made with these products
by adding aggregate, size, gradation and the
amount of aggregate will be determined by the applications. The user is advised to consider the
use of a pre-packaged mortar, such as EUCO #456
MORTAR.

upon the concrete surface texture, temperature of the material and the concrete. For applications involving repair
mortars, the gradation of the aggregate and the workability
desired greatly affects the amount of epoxy required.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation - New concrete must be a
minimum of 28 days old and possess an open,
porous and textured surface with all curing compounds and sealers removed. Old concrete must
be clean and well textured. All oil, dirt, debris,
paint and unsound concrete must be removed. The
surface should be prepared mechanically using a
scabbler, bushhammer, shotblast, scarifier or similar equipment which will give a surface profile commensurate with the application. (Coating applications should have a light sandblast appearance
while topping applications should have the surface of the concrete profiled to expose the large
aggregate.) The final step in cleaning should be
the complete removal of all residue with a vacuum
cleaner or pressure washer.
Acid etching is acceptable only when mechanical
preparation is impractical. It is recommended that
only contractors experienced in the acid etching
process use this means of surface preparation.
The salt of the reaction must be thoroughly pressure washed away. Allow the concrete to completely dry. Note: Even with proper procedures,
an acid etched surface may not produce as strong
a bond as produced by other preparation methods.
Mixing - Mix part A and part B (resin & hardener)
for 2 minutes using a drill and mixing prop. For
ease of mixing, add the part B to part A (not the
reverse). The epoxy must be well mixed to ensure

proper chemical reaction.

If aggregate is to be added, the aggregate is mixed
into the epoxy after the part A and part B have
been premixed together. Place immediately.
Application - (Priming, Bonding, Sealing or Coating) - Use either low viscosity or medium viscosity formulations in these applications. Apply material by roller, squeegee or airless spray in a uniform fashion. Do not allow the material to puddle.
Extremely porous surfaces may require a second
coat for proper ultimate performance. Note : EUCO
#620 is a fast setting epoxy at normal room temperatures. Arrange for quick placement of product.
Priming & Bonding - If EUCO #620 is used as a
bonding agent for a cementitious topping, place
the topping on the EUCO #620 while the epoxy is
still wet. If the epoxy has become tacky to the
point where it is no longer a sticky liquid, a fresh
coat of EUCO #620 must be applied before the
topping is placed.
Sealing & Coating - If a second coat of EUCO
#620 is to be placed on the concrete, the first coat
should be slightly tacky (4-10 hours old) when the
second coat is applied. A slip resistant surface
can be created by broadcasting silica sand (20-50
mesh) into the coating and then backrolling to
embed the sand.
Repair Mortars- The surface should be primed
with EUCO#620 LV prior to application of the repair mortar. Mix the epoxy unit (Part A with Part
B) prior to adding the aggregate. Trowel the mortar into place. If the surface is too rough, a topcoat of either EUCO #620 LV or MV can be applied.
CLEAN-UP
Clean tools and equipment with solvent such as
EUCO SOLVENT, xylene, xylol, toluene or MEK.
Do not allow the epoxy to harden on equipment.
PRECAUTIONS / LIMITATION
l This product may vary in colour and may
yellow and chalk after prolonged exposure
to sunlight
l Store indoor at 7-42oC.
l Epoxy components may cause irritation.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
l Do not apply over free standing water.
l Do not apply over hardened primer or old
epoxy without proper surface preparation.
l Not recommended for use as surface sealer
over view concrete less than 30 days old.
l Not recommended for use when base concrete is at a temperature under 32oF (0oC)
